Curry and the Keeper for April 23rd, 2025,

0:17

episode 130. And hello, my queen.

0:27

Love of my life, so grateful you are my wife.

0:29

Oh, getting a little better.

0:32

Really? That was like off the cuff. That was just like, bam, I'm just going

0:35

to blow this one out. As you walked in the door, I'm like,

0:38

I got to make artwork. We have no artwork.

0:41

So the artwork is very janky. So excuse it.

0:43

Let us cheers. Guess what? I'm drinking. It's been that kind of day.

0:47

One, two, three. Cheers, my love.

0:50

What are we drinking? Well, try it first.

0:52

Tell me what you think. Really?

1:01

You don't like it? I guess maybe because I haven't had any

1:03

wine forever. This is Barron's Creek.

1:06

Oh, that's from Paul and Ashley. Barron, 2022.

1:10

It's from Lodi, California.

1:13

Lodi? You also have Lodi, New Jersey. Not a lot of wine coming out of

1:16

there. Yeah, I wouldn't think so. This is from the oil baron.

1:18

Yes, Paul and Ashley. So there you go, Paul and Ashley.

1:22

Good work. Don't go by my reaction because I haven't

1:28

had wine in a long, long, long time.

1:31

When's the last time you had a drink? I had a drink for Annette's birthday, so

1:35

that was April 1st. Wow, three weeks.

1:39

That's a long time. That's a long time. Yeah, I'm not knocking it at all.

1:43

Today is a big day, Mr. Curry, and

1:45

I bet you have no idea what today is.

1:53

You don't. Four years ago, God changed the trajectory of

1:58

our lives. Now, that's something I don't have in my

2:03

calendar. Yes. Four years ago, we came to see this

2:07

house, and we decided that day that we

2:11

were going to buy the house. Gosh, you remember these things.

2:14

I do. That is so good of you. I'm so sentimental that way.

2:18

I bit my tongue again. Is that on the day that we came

2:21

to see it or the day we came back to buy it?

2:23

No, the day we came to see it, we walked out, and we were like, we're

2:27

buying this house. Yeah, yeah. We want this house.

2:29

That was four years ago today. Four years ago. Amazing. I know.

2:31

Let me cheers again. Cheers. Cheers again.

2:34

Hello, house. Hello, house.

2:36

What a beautiful house. Let me see. Let me see if this thing opened up

2:39

at all. Okay. Let's swirl it around.

2:42

It's not a bad wine. I mean, I've been drinking it at dinner.

2:46

Oh, it's better. It's opened up. Oh, it's all good.

2:49

It's all good. I'm going to be flushed by the end of the show. It just needed to open up a little

2:53

bit. You're driving, by the way, so I guess

2:56

I'm driving. Okay. Oh, I can drive.

2:58

Okay. So it is, everybody, CKSAT is over.

3:03

Yes. And not that we're looking for any accolades

3:07

or notes of appreciation, but we're really doing

3:10

the show on a day when we really

3:13

have no time to do the show. It is, and we are smashing this in.

3:17

It's crazy. So we're not at our normal time.

3:20

And we didn't even get to go on our day date today because- We gave

3:23

up our day date for the show. Yes.

3:25

For the show, I'm telling you. I hope you're happy, Vineyard Nation.

3:28

Yes. We gave up the day date for the

3:30

show. So we're actually doing the show in the middle of the afternoon and not at night

3:33

because we are going to a wedding at 5.30. Who does a wedding on Wednesday

3:37

at 5.30? Our anger management, our friend with anger management

3:41

issues. He's getting married. Our former cop with anger management issues.

3:44

Yes. He's getting married today. Hey, that's smart.

3:47

I'm sure he got it for a deal. What day did we get married?

3:49

On a Saturday? Really, Mr. Curry?

3:53

Really? I know the date. I just don't remember what day of the

3:57

week it was. It was Sunday. We got married on Sunday. I knew it was Sunday because we didn't

4:00

do a show. Yeah. We didn't do a show. There was no no agenda show.

4:03

Yeah. You know, I just said, Mr. Curry, and I have to say this.

4:06

I'm going to embarrass her. So my friend Peggy sends me this letter

4:09

in the mail. She wanted to show me her new promotional

4:12

flyer. This is Peggy? The Peggy? The Peggy. And so she's got on the front of

4:15

the envelope, Tina Snyder and Adam.

4:18

Whoa. I know. So I took a picture of it.

4:21

I go, what is wrong with this photo?

4:24

That is a faux to the pas if I ever heard one.

4:26

She said that her husband, Scott, was like, he was not happy with her.

4:30

He's like, you're going too fast.

4:33

You need to slow down. But Peggy does not slow down.

4:35

I was like, I'm just teasing you. It's OK. I said, I call Adam Mark all the

4:39

time. No, you haven't done that in a while.

4:41

No, I haven't. I don't think I've ever called you by

4:43

any of my ex-wives names. Oh, my gosh. I would be, my head would be on

4:46

a swivel like, huh? Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

4:49

This is the difference between you and me, men and women.

4:52

Boys and girls, chicks and dudes. We have double standards.

4:55

It's just the way it is. OK. You're just going to have to be on

4:57

board with it. OK. Well, if it ever happens that I can

5:00

just double standard, double standard, double standard. Deal with it.

5:03

I am very good at blocking certain things

5:06

from my speech. Are you? Yes. But look how I went from cussing nonstop

5:11

to not cussing. No. It didn't take long.

5:14

So you're as disciplined as I am because

5:16

you stopped smoking on a dime.

5:19

You stopped cussing on a dime. Now we just need you to cut down

5:22

to one glass of wine on a dime. It's been...

5:25

Yeah, you've been slowing down. Yeah. Yeah.

5:27

Yeah. Well, I barely drank anything on my trip

5:30

in Amsterdam. Oh, that's right. Yeah. I went to Amsterdam.

5:33

You did. I went to the Netherlands. I went to the lowlands for a little

5:36

jaunt. That's right. You went across the pond. I did go across the pond.

5:39

And I went to Nashville, or Crashville as

5:41

they call it. Why do they call it Crashville? Crashville.

5:43

Because there are so many accidents out there. Really? In Nashville?

5:46

Yes. Oh, I didn't know that. Well, let's back up. We got to go back.

5:49

We got to go back to... Yeah, we got to go back 14 days

5:51

or something. We got to go back to the worship night. We only have an hour.

5:55

Yeah, I know. I'm looking at the clock. Okay, we got 54 minutes left.

5:58

Yes, the worship night. The worship night. And if you didn't see the newsletter, too

6:02

bad for you. You didn't see the newsletter. Oh, too bad. But you should take a look at the

6:05

newsletter. What...

6:07

Okay, you kick it off, and I'll jump in and add color.

6:10

Well, we had about, I don't know, 25,

6:12

27 people here. Yes. And we had invited this trio to come

6:16

in. We had... We talked about this on the other shows.

6:19

We had worship night at Pastor John's.

6:22

And they came, and we were just blown

6:24

away. And we invited them to come, and we

6:27

wanted all of our friends to partake. And so I sent out the invitation to

6:32

our closest friends, and we had some little

6:35

snackies, and I asked them to bring what they were drinking.

6:37

And so we had an array of food, and then we sat down, the trio sat

6:41

down, and they started to play their music.

6:43

Yeah, we had all the... Did we take any pictures, actually?

6:46

I did not, no. I didn't take any pictures either. No.

6:48

Everyone was... We had all the chairs. Everyone was sitting down.

6:51

And then we had a... It was...

6:54

We had no idea how that would work in our house.

6:56

And I think the acoustics, by the way, worked out really well.

6:59

Yes, yes. Because we have a very high ceiling. Yes. And it worked out fantastic.

7:02

Even the band, they're like, wow, this is good acoustics in here.

7:05

We like this, yes. Yeah, yeah. Although I'm glad that Colleen...

7:08

At first, I couldn't hear her as well, and when she sat on the floor, I

7:11

could hear her beautifully. But it was...

7:14

For an hour, they played music, worship music.

7:17

And it was just lovely, and the Holy

7:20

Spirit was just right there, and it was so beautiful. Yeah.

7:22

It was so beautiful to just worship to God. Not amplified, by the way.

7:25

No, it was not amplified. Unplugged.

7:27

Unplugged. And everybody enjoyed it. Annette said something.

7:30

She said, you know, next time, definitely have words to the song, which I think is

7:34

good. I missed that too. Yeah, yeah.

7:36

I'm like, where's my screen with the lyrics? Because some songs, people were singing along because

7:41

we knew them from church, and everyone's singing them, and it got really nice and loud.

7:45

And then other songs, we're like... Jesus.

7:51

Mouthing, like looking over. Anyone else know the lyrics to this?

7:54

I don't know the lyrics to this one. But I loved it, and what you got

7:58

up and said a few words, and I said, you know, we hope that this inspires

8:01

you to host a worship night in your

8:04

house because it's just so lovely. And so towards the end...

8:08

No, it was the end. Colleen, the woman in the trio, she goes...

8:14

Did you build this house that way? No, she said, I love the big cross

8:17

in your house. And I go, what? What cross?

8:20

What? You don't see the big cross in your

8:23

house? And I said, no. And she pointed to, and you have to

8:26

read the newsletter if you want to see it. If you're on the newsletter, you're just a

8:29

loser. And the way that this house was built,

8:32

there are... I'm going to put it in the show notes. Okay, the way the windows are and the

8:36

door, it is a huge cross in our

8:39

house. And Adam, think about that. Four years ago, God brought us to this

8:42

house. We had no idea. Brought us to this community.

8:44

We had absolutely no idea.

8:47

No idea. And this house is even more special now

8:50

that it was built for us. Meant to be.

8:53

God was just waiting for us. Meant to be. It wasn't...

8:55

That was one of the coolest revelations that...

8:58

It was crazy how cool that was. Yes, it was really cool.

9:01

So we have a cross in our house. We don't need any of those small crosses

9:04

on the wall. We got a big one. And when people see it, you'll understand what

9:07

we're talking about. Just talking about it doesn't really do it

9:10

justice, but when you see it, it's like, oh my goodness.

9:12

It's the whole side of the house is

9:15

a cross. And once you see it, you can't unsee

9:18

it. You can't unsee it. you can't unsee it.

9:20

It's great. It's so cool. Yes.

9:22

So cool. It was very cool. And there were some people who really got

9:27

into the worship and were like, I needed that so much.

9:30

Yes. Yeah. Because people get stressed when they're running around

9:33

doing stuff like me. Yeah, I know.

9:35

It was nice for me to... Just exhale.

9:38

Yeah, it was. But there was a big controversy and people

9:40

didn't understand whether I should have food or not because they were like, you shouldn't have

9:43

food when you worship. And I'm like, well, they asked me to

9:46

feed them, they being the singer, the worship

9:49

team. They asked me to feed them.

9:52

And sure enough, after it was over, people

9:55

were eating everything. Noshing like nuts. Almost everything went, which I was so happy.

9:59

There was just a little bit of skewer left for me because you were leaving the

10:03

next day, right? the next morning, I got up and met

10:05

Pastor Jimmy and Annette.

10:08

That was kind of cool. We met out at HEB.

10:10

No, at Walmart at the automotive parking lot.

10:13

Yeah. Like we're doing a drug deal. Hey everybody, how you doing?

10:16

And instead of a drug deal, we had a prayer circle.

10:18

Oh, we did, exactly. That was cool. That was cool.

10:21

Yeah, so I ended up going to Nashville

10:23

with Pastor Jimmy and Annette and her daughter

10:25

and Pastor Brian. And we were going specifically, there's a carnivore

10:29

meetup and Dr. Ben Cary, Ken Berry was

10:33

going to be there along with Dr. Kiltz. And these people are major, major influences.

10:39

They're the carnivore influencers. Well, they're major influences in Pastor Jimmy and

10:44

Annette's life because they, they met them before

10:48

and they basically took all their knowledge and

10:52

their information and they transformed their own lives.

10:55

Healed themselves. Healed themselves, yes, especially Jimmy.

10:58

And so, they're very loyal to this group.

11:01

And so, knowing that I'm on this carnivore

11:04

journey as well, I've lost 19 pounds by

11:07

the way. 19? Yes, I've lost 19 pounds.

11:09

Where are you? I can't see you behind the lamp.

11:12

I weigh less than Sir Brian with an

11:14

eye now. You know what's crazy? I am going up.

11:18

I know. What's up with that? I was 201 this morning.

11:21

What? After pooping. Oh, brother.

11:25

What did I do? What did I do?

11:28

I don't know. Because I was like 197. That was good.

11:31

You haven't even been eating that. What did you have yesterday?

11:33

What did I make you yesterday? Oh, I made you tacos, but.

11:36

Yeah, but still. What's happening? I'm retaining water.

11:40

Oh. I must be retaining water. Your glycogen stores are full.

11:42

My glycogen stores are full. I'm retaining water.

11:45

Huh. Anyway, getting back to the carnivore meetup.

11:48

Back to you. So, they asked me to go and I

11:51

wanted to go because I had a couple questions I wanted to ask and I just

11:54

wanted to see what this environment was about.

11:57

So, it was a nice weekend to go

11:59

there, but before we arrived on Saturday and

12:01

we went to the World Outreach Church, which

12:03

is Alan Jackson's church, which is huge.

12:08

like 10,000 huge? I have never seen anything like it and

12:12

Pastor Brian and his wife Naomi, that was their church when they lived in Nashville.

12:15

It was enormous. I mean, I've never, they had a sanctuary.

12:20

I mean, thousands of seats and then they had two spillover sanctuaries.

12:24

Their youth room was probably as big as

12:26

the Sanctuary at Bridge Church. It was enormous and so they had, they

12:30

had like their spring festivals. There were a lot of food trucks and

12:33

everything. They did service outside.

12:35

So, it was great. So, we got to do church outside and

12:38

I got to hear him preach, which I

12:41

really, I do like him a lot. I do. And so then Saturday, then we went to

12:46

the carnivore meetup and it was about an hour and a half away in this like

12:49

little town in Tennessee and a lot of

12:51

people were there, maybe 150, 200 people, a

12:54

lot of people and there were two women at our table.

12:57

Both of them had lost 100 pounds. What?

13:01

they lost 100 pounds. But you're not straight carnivore right now.

13:04

You're doing your own thing. Yeah, I'm kind of doing my own thing.

13:08

Yeah. Well, sort of. Sort of.

13:11

Kind of. Excuse me. So, but it was just so awesome to

13:15

hear all these people say to Dr. Berry

13:18

how they, how he saved their lives.

13:20

Oh, no doubt. Because he took them off the standard American

13:22

diet, which is awful for you and put

13:24

them on a carnivore diet, which is more primal eating and they restore, so many people

13:29

restored their health. So, it was interesting to hear all the

13:33

people come, go up and give their testimony. So, Pastor Jimmy and Annette went up and

13:37

they spoke. They had five minutes to speak. Everybody had five minutes to speak.

13:41

And, it was just great to be a part of it and it was great to

13:43

witness how Pastor Jimmy and Annette are celebrities

13:46

in this, in this environment. I'm not kidding you.

13:49

But they've been bringing Jesus into the community.

13:51

And people like it. Yes. A lot of Christians there.

13:54

Pastor Jimmy was talking to me about it. A lot of Christians.

13:57

Like it really, it really fits in. But they are celebs.

13:59

Let me tell you, they're celebs. Yes. I think they gave out autographs too.

14:03

Well, they did a show today. I don't know if it's dropped yet, but

14:07

they should be talking about it. Living Up and Down World.

14:09

Good podcast everybody. Yeah. And doing video now.

14:12

Yes. Including Daymonette on video.

14:14

I know. She wasn't too happy about it. No, she wanted the Elizabeth Taylor treatment.

14:18

Oh, did she have a filter? She wanted a filter.

14:20

That's what she wanted. I don't know if she got it. I told Pastor Jimmy, I said, just tell

14:25

her that her inside is so beautiful that

14:27

Pastor Jimmy actually needs a filter. That her beauty will drown him out.

14:32

It just radiates. Yes, it does. It does. But so, so what was kind of funny

14:36

though, so we, we end up leaving.

14:38

We were there a long time, like seven, I seem like six hours, seven hours.

14:42

Wow. That is a long time. It was a long event. You know, they fed us.

14:45

It was, it was, it was good. It was very, very interesting and I enjoyed

14:48

it. So we were leaving and we were, we

14:51

were trapped. There was a car behind us and a

14:54

car in front of us and we were like, how do we get out?

14:57

And so Jimmy's like, I'm going to four

15:00

wheel it. So he goes, he goes to the left,

15:03

he kind of goes to the left over this like gravel hill and that's like screaming

15:08

in the back, you know, like Jimmy Dale,

15:10

Jimmy Dale. And so he's doing and I go, can

15:14

I talk about this on the show? He goes, yes.

15:19

So he gave me permission to talk. Obviously, obviously they made it.

15:22

He got, he, he, he definitely, I mean,

15:24

he got us, got us there. But, you know, I drove, I drove a

15:29

nuts car to the airport, to Austin.

15:32

And so he was behind me and he told me he likes the way that I

15:34

drive. Cause you know me, I'm like weaving in and out. We drive, we drive very similarly.

15:39

Yes. So, so yeah. So that was a lot of fun.

15:42

And then on, let's just go marry pastor Jimmy.

15:44

Sounds so much better. Take that back.

15:47

That is just wrong. I don't like that.

15:50

It's a joke. I don't like that joke. Um, what is a good joke?

15:54

No, it's not a good joke. That's what boys say.

15:56

No, it's not a good joke. I don't like that. Well, he does drive better than me.

16:00

This is true. Okay. Yes, this is true. Sorry.

16:02

I take it back. Yeah. I didn't, I didn't mean it.

16:04

Okay. Um, and then, so then, you know, we,

16:09

Nat and I of course did a little shopping. Oh yeah.

16:12

We had a little moment where in, uh,

16:15

and we went to Franklin in Nashville.

16:18

Oh yeah. Franklin. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Isn't that, isn't Franklin the upscale?

16:21

Yes. Very nice. Yeah. Very, very nice.

16:24

Yeah. So I'm, we're in this little section of town.

16:26

I don't remember what it's called gooseberry or something.

16:29

I don't remember. And I, you know, I was walking every

16:31

morning. We walked and I could live here.

16:33

This is great. We say that every time we go somewhere,

16:37

we could live on this island until we

16:39

experienced traffic. And I'm like, Nope, I don't want to

16:43

live here, man. How lucky are we here? As long as you don't go on main

16:46

street on the weekend, we have no traffic. I know.

16:48

So then after that, we went to dinner with pastor Brian's, uh, parents, which I really

16:53

enjoy. We met them before, haven't we?

16:56

We met them at the church. No, we met, uh, Naomi's parents.

16:59

Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, you're very lovely people.

17:01

So then of course, Brian's dad asks me about Godcaster and I'm like, well, um, and

17:06

I turned to pastor to me, I go, can you explain it? He could explain it beautifully.

17:09

So I'm like, thank you. You don't know how to explain it?

17:12

I do, but you know, I do, but he's so, he's so close to it.

17:16

Yeah. So it should be easy enough for you

17:19

to explain it. I'm failing. No, you're not.

17:21

But here was one of the highlights. So after dinner, it was so early cause

17:25

we had early dinner and that's like, what

17:27

do you want to do? I go, let's go to crumble cookies.

17:32

Oh man. So you had all the carnivore, all, all

17:35

healthy all day. And then let's balance this out just a

17:38

little bit. So we went to crumble cookies and we got four cookies and we split them in

17:42

four and we each had one of like

17:44

one piece of each. It was fun. It was fun.

17:47

And so while I was doing that, you were gallivanting to Holland.

17:50

Well, actually, uh, Phoebe and I were home eating leftovers.

17:53

Oh, what leftovers? Didn't we have leftovers?

17:57

I can't remember what trip it was. No, you didn't leave me left.

18:00

Oh, I didn't make you anything. I didn't have time.

18:02

Oh yes. No, I had left the, the skewers from

18:05

the, the antipasto.

18:08

Yeah. First day was skewers all day long.

18:11

I ate all the skewers. Phoebe and I watched, watched more formula one

18:15

formula. Yes. Uh, but it was only, uh, no, I

18:19

see you left on Thursday. No, I left on Saturday.

18:22

I can't, I, my brain is so fried.

18:25

So Saturday, then Sunday I had, uh, went

18:29

to church early. And, uh, of course no one was at

18:31

the church. I mean, I mean, not nobody, people, the

18:34

congregation was there. Yeah. But pastor Jimmy and that pastor Brian, me,

18:38

the whole front row, except, uh, Pharaoh dot

18:43

life. Charles came in. Oh yeah. Charles came in.

18:46

And so he, he sat in the front row, the front row, we worship together and

18:50

then he shaved off his mustache, which is another shock.

18:52

It's like, okay, I gotta get you look like a young man.

18:55

No, he does. Yes. Yeah. It doesn't have that, that, that, that 70s

18:58

porn star mustache. Look, look, no, it was great.

19:03

And so we had to really, of course I couldn't really hang out with him cause

19:05

I had to boogie woogie afterwards to do

19:08

the show. But it was nice. He was there. I enjoyed it a lot.

19:11

Good. Oh, and I forgot to tell him, but

19:13

we received his donation. Yes.

19:16

From, Oh, do you have it on the, um, you have it?

19:18

I don't, I don't, but I'll put the

19:20

note. His note was sitting right here in my

19:22

desk area. Where'd you put it? Yeah.

19:25

But I, I, I'll, I'll, I'll talk for

19:28

a second. I didn't know that. I just cleaned up your desk area because

19:32

I didn't want you to complain about the desk area.

19:34

I tried, I tried to, I tried, I tried to make, don't touch my desk area.

19:38

That's the only place that I keep cleaning. I tried to keep everything nice and tidy.

19:42

I didn't want to get in trouble for the desk area.

19:44

yes. So he had sent us some lard.

19:47

Yes. Some feral life. And I just put the box in the

19:50

cabinet and I'm like, then I went to

19:52

open it up. I'm like, Oh, there's a donation in here.

19:55

So thank goodness. I, Oh, I had the foresight to why

19:59

I needed it. So I wanted to open it. You have the note, right?

20:01

So we'll do that. We'll do that in a moment. Oh, good.

20:04

Okay. Um, and so then, uh, I don't even

20:07

remember what I ate. I have no idea what went, went to

20:10

bed. I know you went to freed homes by yourself.

20:12

That's what I did. Yes. I went to freed homes.

20:15

Thank you for reminding me Sunday night, Sunday

20:17

night. Yeah. And it was nice.

20:19

You know, just sitting by myself at freed

20:21

homes. It's such a nice place to just go

20:24

and sit down. No one bothers you. You know, it's just like food, good food.

20:28

I had a rib. I think actually had a whole, I think

20:32

I had a whole bunch of stuff. I think I had a ribeye.

20:34

I think I had a, uh, gosh, my

20:38

brain is, it's because you're burning the candle

20:41

at both ends. We talked about them. I am.

20:43

I am. You are. I never see you.

20:46

You're working all the time. Oh, okay.

20:51

Okay. Okay. So this morning I get up, I said,

20:54

I'm going to cancel all my meetings so we can, we can do a, uh, so

20:59

we can have our lunch. You're like, Oh, this is messing up my

21:02

brain, man. I had already figured we couldn't do it.

21:04

And I need to do my hair. I need to walk into it.

21:06

We need to work out. So, you know, I, I know because we

21:09

had, we had talked last night about not

21:11

being able to go to lunch today because there was so much on the calendar and

21:14

we wanted to record the show. And so when I woke up in the

21:18

morning, I literally rearranged my schedule in my

21:21

brain. And then you get up and you're like,

21:23

I got a message from God. I did not say that.

21:26

I did not say that, but it was

21:28

a message from God coincidentally, but I didn't

21:31

say that. I said, I, I, the first thing I

21:33

thought of this morning was Tina's much more

21:36

important than any of these other things. And, uh, so clearly, of course my hair

21:41

is more important than me. Well, there you go.

21:44

I had to wash my washing my hair.

21:47

It's just like, it's a huge ordeal. It's like, it's like driving to Austin.

21:51

And then you, but just before the show starts, Tina puts her headphones on.

21:54

The headphones are going to mess up my hair. I know.

21:57

Anyway, it's much appreciated. But yeah, I, uh, so I left, um,

22:02

Monday. Yes. Uh, to fly to Amsterdam.

22:05

Uh, very uneventful travel.

22:08

It was a travel favor all the way.

22:10

Got in, um, got situated.

22:13

Then I went to see my old friend, Yope.

22:15

Yope. He was now 84 on the little houseboat

22:18

with his, did he serve any food? His wife made, she's so cute.

22:22

He said, um, do you want to stay

22:24

for dinner? I said, well, yeah, I'd love to. I mean, I said, I'd come by at

22:27

four hoping you would invite me. I wasn't going to invite myself.

22:30

I said, do you want a macaroni and cheese or this other thing that I made?

22:34

I said, well, you mean you made a special meal? Yes, I did.

22:37

Well, then why are you offering Mac and cheese? He said, just in case you didn't like

22:40

it or didn't want to try my food. I want your food.

22:43

It was another Dutch dish.

22:46

It had like potatoes. It was, it was like a castle, um,

22:50

casserole potatoes and, uh, ground beef and spicy

22:54

Indonesian spices, uh, covered with a layer of

22:57

molten cheese. It was really good.

23:00

Did you eat a lot? I ate a lot. Did she have enough?

23:02

Cause you eat a lot. You're a volume eater now. That's why you're 201.

23:08

I'm wagging my finger at her right now.

23:10

Yes. Uh, will you be able to get in

23:12

your suit? Oh, don't even, don't even, don't even get

23:15

me started. Don't even get, yes. If I breathe in, I will be able

23:19

to, um, you know, you're, you're, you're throwing

23:22

me off, man. I'm sorry. I'm worried about my suit.

23:26

The casserole. It was a really nice, it was really

23:29

nice. You know, I've known him since I was 16, 15 or 16.

23:33

So it was really nice to catch up. And you know, you never know when, when

23:37

you, when you want to go and they might not be there. So, and how did you meet Yop?

23:41

When I was into, uh, so CB radios

23:44

were illegal in Holland. And I bought one on one of our

23:47

vacations and brought it back. And all of a sudden I hear this,

23:50

all these other people have these CB radios. And I find out that it's all illegal

23:54

in Holland. And you know, I didn't have a proper

23:57

antenna. And this one guy, his call, his call

23:59

sign was Jupiter. Uh, I was T bird.

24:03

He was Jupiter bird. Yeah. Why not a bird?

24:06

These were the days of Greece. Oh, Oh, I was a 13 year old.

24:09

Thunderbird. Yes. I was 15.

24:13

Okay. And, so he was helping me out with,

24:15

um, uh, with my antenna stuff.

24:18

And then, uh, Hans and I, my, my

24:20

friend Hans, who you met in Barcelona. I've known Hans for a while, Adam.

24:25

I didn't just meet him in Barcelona, but

24:27

did you know that he also, you want to slap me?

24:30

Did you know that he also had an illegal CB radio?

24:33

No, but the way you said, you know, my, my friend Hans that you met in

24:36

Barcelona. I was, I was saying it for the

24:38

listener. So the listener could recall, we were talking

24:41

about, it's called podcasting.

24:44

Maybe you've heard of it. Uh, so we would get, we had this

24:47

little boat, I had this, I had this

24:50

little boat with a, like really like a

24:52

dinghy more with a huge oversize outboard motor.

24:56

Bought it, traded it from a stamp collection. Oh, with a, with an outboard motor.

25:00

Cause then you would go down the canals. Yeah. We go all the way to Finca Fane,

25:04

which is a little bit from where I live. Uh, and we camp on the outboard motor.

25:07

Cause then he, at that point, yeah, that

25:09

Hans and I went camping a lot. Yeah.

25:11

We would just go camping in the farmland. You bring food and stuff?

25:14

Yeah. With, you know, and buns and burners and

25:17

like cans of corn, no cans of corn

25:20

and beans and you know, sausages in the

25:23

can. Yeah. It was camping. This was our camping days.

25:26

Oh, those like little sausages. Yes.

25:29

Gross. Okay. They were good at the time.

25:31

Okay. You know, and, and so we'd, we'd hang

25:35

out and then we'd go visit him and he had, he had a boat there, not

25:38

just the houseboat, but he had a boat and it was a whole community of people,

25:41

of these, these CB radio guys.

25:44

And we hang out and we do the Fox hunt.

25:46

You know what the Fox hunt is? No. So someone's the Fox.

25:51

Was Yope the Fox? No, no.

25:53

It changes, you know, whoever catches the Fox

25:55

is the Fox next week. So it typically works with cars, but it

25:58

works with boats too. So you'll have an area, a radius of

26:02

say 20 miles. And someone will go in their car and

26:06

park somewhere inconspicuously.

26:10

And they'll broadcast every three minutes and say,

26:13

this is the Fox, the Fox for all you Fox hunters. See if you can find me.

26:16

And you'd have to use directional finders to

26:19

find the signal. And then you have to wait another three

26:22

minutes to find for the next signal. And then you get closer and closer.

26:25

And whoever found the Fox first was the

26:27

winner. And then you were the Fox next week. So we also did this with boats.

26:31

Oh, I know you're under, but there are

26:35

people out there right now who are going, I used to do that.

26:37

Well, it sounds like you had a full childhood, so that's good.

26:41

Yeah. Yeah. Well, so he, he was definitely a father

26:44

figure. Okay. Yes. And he, so he basically watched you grow

26:47

up. Totally. That's pretty cool. And throughout the years I've been to visit

26:50

and just, you know, now when I go back, like just stop by for a couple

26:53

hours, cause you know, he's 84. Yeah. Nice.

26:56

That's so lovely that you carved out time to go see him.

26:58

Yes. So then by the time, you know, so I'm home.

27:01

Then I was really tired. Boom. Slept.

27:04

Now it's a Wednesday and Wednesday is the,

27:06

the big 80th birthday for Lex. My first boss who hired me when I

27:10

was 19. And this was fantastic.

27:14

There were 200 people there. I knew at least 150 of them.

27:18

And half of those 150, I did not

27:22

recognize as that being them. And they all recognize me.

27:25

Hey, Adam, how you doing? I'd be like blank stare.

27:29

And I didn't, I decided that when I didn't know, I just say, I'm sorry.

27:32

I don't remember. Yeah. And, and then it would say, Oh, I'm

27:35

so-and-so. Oh, Oh my gosh.

27:37

Yes. But a lot of people I did recognize.

27:40

So these are all people that, that Lex

27:43

loves and cherishes. Right. Who have been there throughout, you know, his

27:46

entire life and professional career, including both of

27:49

his ex-wives. Yes. That was interesting.

27:52

They both came. Yeah. Your two, your ex-wives are not coming

27:55

to your 80th. I don't think so. No. And, and, um, uh, but even, the lady

28:00

who ran the, uh, the lunch room for

28:03

many, many years who basically fed me when

28:05

I was 19 years old, she was there

28:08

and it, it was just a good, they had bands performing.

28:10

So did they have a sit down dinner or was it a buffet or?

28:13

A buffet, but then, you know, he had multiple rooms.

28:15

He had wine bars in different, it was a castle, wine bars in different rooms and

28:19

this big room. And that was kind of, um, um, dressed

28:23

up like, um, like a Casablanca.

28:26

Oh, nice. And Lex had a white tuxedo on.

28:29

And I'd say half the people got the memo and dressed up nice, like me.

28:33

Yes. You know, and, and had the suits on

28:35

and looked handsome. You did. And it was, it was just good time

28:40

bringing back memories. So was the paparazzi outside of the venue?

28:45

no, no paparazzi. No, it was, it was kept pretty quiet.

28:48

Okay. And there was, you know, um, I mean,

28:50

yes, there were people who are currently also famous, but I would say the majority no

28:55

longer. It's long, long gone.

28:57

Glory gone. Well, and you love Lex.

29:00

And so it was so nice. I do. I do. Yeah.

29:02

And they asked you where I was. Everybody asked where I was.

29:06

Everybody asked where I was. Not you. Everybody asked where you were.

29:13

And I said, you said, I said, I

29:18

wouldn't let her come. I didn't want her hanging around.

29:23

I know I wasn't invited. I was not invited.

29:26

You were invited. I was not invited.

29:28

So you would have, I was right about this because you would have known nobody.

29:33

Everybody's speaking Dutch about good old times.

29:35

You would have been very bored.

29:38

Yeah. I didn't want to go. Yeah. I mean, the only, you would have known

29:41

Jeroen. He was there, but that would have been about it.

29:43

No, I would not. And I would have been clinging onto you

29:45

and you wouldn't have had an opportunity to talk to people.

29:48

And no, I just, no, no thanks.

29:52

Exactly. I'm glad you went though. And it was a tight turnaround because Thursday

29:56

I did the show, which of course lasts up until midnight.

29:58

So I prepped all day Thursday, did, you

30:01

know, had a quick Whopper. Cause you know me, I stay at the

30:04

airport hotel. You can walk right into the airport and

30:06

get yourself a Whopper. Yep. That's perfect.

30:08

That's what we did. That's perfect. Did this, of course I'd forgotten to get

30:12

myself any wine. So it's, you know, by the time we're

30:14

done, it's 1 a.m. Like, oh, I

30:17

wish I had a wine night. And nothing was open.

30:19

yeah. And then, uh, now I went to bed

30:21

then Friday. But no, Thursday he started to get sick.

30:24

You were sick? During the show. Yeah. So of course I picked up some bug.

30:28

See, this is another reason it's good you weren't there because man, if we were both

30:33

sick, you would have been very mad at me. Like at Christmas.

30:35

Yeah. Yeah. You would have been very mad at me. Yes. And cause it would have been all my

30:38

fault then. Yeah. Of course. You forced me to come to this thing.

30:41

Yes. Um, so yeah, I started to get sick.

30:44

I just, you know, uh, runny nose.

30:47

It wasn't too bad, but I knew something

30:49

was going on. Um, but then bring any ivermectin with you.

30:52

I did not. And you have to get, when you start

30:55

feeling sick, you have to start pounding it.

30:57

Yeah. So I'm like, ah, cursing myself.

30:59

I know. Uh, but then I went to see my daughter and her, I'm going to call him

31:03

fiance because well, no, that is not that

31:06

he is not her fiance. He has not asked her to marry him.

31:10

Yeah. Yeah. But you cannot, you cannot get in front

31:13

of that. Okay. Yeah. Boyfriend living.

31:16

How about we call him a Beyonce? Boyfriend, fiance, Beyonce.

31:21

Hey, there's the show title. Beyonce.

31:25

You spelled Beyonce wrong, man.

31:28

B-I-A-N. B-I-A-N-C-E.

31:32

Yes. Beyonce. Nice. Um, and so, or boy, Boyance.

31:38

No, Boyance. No, I don't like Boyance.

31:40

Um, and so Christina had reserved time for

31:44

us at the VR experience. Yes. The virtual reality experience, which was quite mind

31:50

blowing. Um, you go in, it's a big room.

31:54

Y'all get your VR headsets on, you've got your weapon and you're all of a

31:58

sudden you're in a dystopian world and you're

32:00

killing zombies as a team.

32:03

Yes. It was a lot of fun. I have to say.

32:05

How long were you in there? 30 minutes. Oh, wow.

32:07

30 minutes. 30 minutes. Yeah. That's long enough. And you're actually stressed when you're done.

32:12

you know, it looks stressful to me. It looked very violent.

32:15

It was super violent. I mean, you're blowing heads off and then,

32:18

you know, yes. Well, you got to double tap the zombies

32:20

in the head, two shots with a shotgun. Otherwise they come back to life.

32:24

And what happens if they get you? Then you, then all of a sudden you,

32:26

everything goes black and white. Did that happen to you?

32:30

Nine times. Okay. And then you refrag after 10, 10 seconds,

32:34

you come back to life. Oh, refrag.

32:36

Yeah. But it, you get points off your score

32:39

if you get eaten. Because you have the headphones on in this

32:41

set, you'll be like shooting zombies in front

32:43

of you. Then you hear behind you and you turn

32:46

around, there's a huge zombie and just like start shooting them.

32:49

And you can see it because they send you a video of what it looks like

32:53

in the world and just us. And you can see me like with my

32:56

arms flailing, like trying to shoot zombies at

32:59

my feet. Very fun. Yeah.

33:01

Yeah. Super fun. That was cool that she planned that.

33:03

Yeah. Very cool. And then we went to dinner and I

33:05

said, let's have a great dinner at a

33:07

great restaurant. And there's this place which is quite well

33:12

known. Is it in Rotterdam? It's in Rotterdam.

33:14

Yeah. And it's called Ono, O-N-O like

33:19

Yoko Ono. And it was a seven course Japanese fusion

33:23

meal, which was, it took four hours.

33:26

Yes. It took a long time to finish it, but it was well worth it.

33:30

Oh good. Aw. Yeah. And then by that time, you know, ready

33:33

to roll over and go to sleep.

33:35

So I had taxi, Eric picked me up, went home, got on the plane Saturday and

33:38

came home, baby. Yeah. Back to you. Working my way back to you.

33:41

I know. With a burning love inside. Came home so snuffly too.

33:45

And I was like, don't kiss me. Yeah. I cannot get sick.

33:48

Yeah. You only kissed me this morning on the

33:50

lips. I was like, yeah, I know. I'm just like, I cannot, I do not

33:54

want your ick. But so it was the night before last

33:58

night. And I'm waking up in the morning. I'm like half asleep.

34:02

And I feel your hand on my chest.

34:05

And I feel your hand moving around, moving

34:08

down to my stomach, back up to my chest.

34:10

And then I say, good morning, love.

34:13

Are you checking to see if I'm alive? And you say, yes.

34:16

Did you think I was dead next to you?

34:18

Like a cold, dead corpse? Yes.

34:21

Cause you were not even moving.

34:24

I'm like, is he breathing? No, he can't die next to me in

34:29

bed. I have to get rid of the bed.

34:34

Yes. That was your first thought. I have to get rid of the bed.

34:38

Hey, at least, at least I love you

34:40

so much. I want to make sure you're alive. Right?

34:43

I bet you do this more often. I do. You never check on me though.

34:49

No, I know. I know you're alive. No. Cause you, you sleep soundly through the night.

34:54

If I wake up and like, she's like, yeah, whatever.

34:57

Whatever. Babe, babe, babe.

35:01

So while you were gone in Amsterdam, I

35:06

went to Hank and Nancy's vow renewal.

35:09

Yes. It was really beautiful. It was really, really beautiful.

35:12

And, they held it in a gazebo in

35:16

Fredericksburg, close to downtown. I thought it was going to be at

35:18

the church. No, it was really nice.

35:21

And, um, Tommy Hayes, how was the weather?

35:24

It was a little windy, but it was, it was nice. It was warm.

35:26

But one thing that, so Hank did, he was talking about, about their love.

35:31

And he, it was interesting because he says, you know, when we started out, we were

35:34

Chinos. Chinos?

35:37

Christians in name only. Oh, isn't that cool?

35:41

Chinos. Ooh. That's another good show.

35:44

Is that with the CH? CHINOS.

35:47

And I was like, oh, and he was talking about how they, you know, their faith

35:50

has just developed and, you know, what it

35:52

meant. They're lovely people. Oh, they, they are.

35:54

They're lovely people. So it was so nice to, and I

35:57

wrote that down. Chinos. I'm going to use that.

35:59

I like that. Because there's a very, there's a big difference,

36:02

you know, Christians in name only, being actually walking the word of, walking, talking, living the

36:07

word of God. so Tommy Hayes did the, did the ceremony?

36:10

Yeah. Nice. And so they exchanged rings again.

36:12

We didn't do that. We didn't exchange rings.

36:14

I was kind of hoping for a ring, but I didn't get one, but it's okay.

36:17

Is there anything I do right? Anything except just being alive in the morning.

36:22

Oh, he's alive. Good job, son. You do a lot of things.

36:25

Right. And so, so that was lovely. And then Friday night was the big harvest

36:29

project, Texas. Good Friday concert.

36:31

And so the rev 1211 orchestra played again.

36:34

I was sad. I wasn't. Oh my gosh. It was, I would say there was a

36:38

couple hundred people there. I mean, there could have been more, but

36:40

it was, they are phenomenal.

36:43

Phenomenal. Well, how many were in the band this time?

36:46

I don't know, eight or eight again. Yeah. Cool. Cool.

36:48

The band. Yeah. And you know, I'm, so when they start,

36:51

they tell, did they do hits or did they do their own material?

36:54

No, they did. They did worship songs that we know, but

36:58

they started off talking about the story of,

37:00

of, of Jesus being crucified.

37:02

And then Saturday, you know what happens on

37:05

Saturday where it's very solemn. And then Sunday, his resurrection.

37:08

So there, so he, the music went kind

37:10

of in that vibe. And then he did a little narrative.

37:13

And they did a song. So Brandy, Brandy is sitting across the aisle

37:17

from me. I'm sitting next to Annette. Annette and I are both crying.

37:20

Brandy's crying. All our friends in the back, Debbie knows

37:23

they're crying. I mean, it was so moving.

37:26

How many people were there? You know, it was hard to say there,

37:29

there was a lot of people on the periphery.

37:31

Right. And I, you know, I had said to

37:33

the team, I said, we need signs to

37:35

say that this is a free concert. Cause I think people didn't know that they

37:38

could come and sit in the chairs. Right. So I, I want to say 150, maybe

37:42

200 people. Okay, that's worth the swag.

37:46

So we sold. And it was just, oh, it was just

37:50

lovely. I loved it. I loved it. I can't wait for the business.

37:52

Did they have words on the screen? they did. Oh man, that is so cool.

37:56

Yeah. And so they, and I can't remember the

37:58

name of the song. You would know the song if I hear

38:01

it, I could tell you, but they started very solemn in the beginning and that they

38:04

sang the same song at the end at

38:07

a much more upbeat because Jesus is resurrected.

38:10

So it was really, it was really, really

38:12

cool. Yeah. Nice. I like that. And what time did that end?

38:16

It ended at eight o'clock. Yeah, it was nice.

38:19

I loved it. You went out bar hopping. Yeah. Yeah.

38:21

I went and tied one on. Yeah. Me and Phoebe.

38:24

Yeah. No, I'm like, I got to get home. Cause I have to walk the dog and

38:27

pick up her ginormous poops. It's big these days.

38:30

Oh my God. She's on a big poop.

38:32

I'm jealous. She's so, I mean, her digestive system is

38:35

on point. Definitely on point.

38:37

On point. In the morning. I'm like, good girl.

38:39

Holy moly. Good girl. My hand is not even big enough.

38:44

I've mastered it though, in terms of like

38:46

using, turning the bag inside out like a

38:48

glove. That's how you do it. That's how you do it.

38:51

No good. So yeah. Yeah. And then I came home Saturday.

38:54

You did. And here we are. Although it's been crazy.

38:57

It's just been nuts. I know. You've been going, going, going.

38:59

And what did I do? So on, let's say Wednesday, yesterday, Monday, I

39:05

fasted. I did a 37 hour fast, which was

39:09

amazing. I was in such, I had so much

39:13

energy and I was in such a nesting.

39:16

Here's how it works from Adam's perspective. I need you to do this.

39:20

Can you come over here and take a look at this?

39:22

What's going on? You were cleaning out the pool room.

39:24

You were tightening, tidying up the garage.

39:27

I mean, you were just on fire. I was so energized.

39:29

I went, I'm going to sit in my studio and lay low before I get a

39:34

task. I don't want a task.

39:36

I have other things to do. The fasting and the nesting, I was just,

39:39

I was like, Oh, what can I organize next?

39:41

I was, I was feeling really, really good.

39:45

There's something to this fasting. I'm telling you, I like it.

39:48

People in the, in the, in the good old days, 2000 years ago, did it all

39:53

the time. It was like normal part of life.

39:55

And it's not necessarily for weight loss.

39:57

I mean, it is for cell regeneration. You know, it is for healing.

40:01

That's what I'm most intrigued about. But it's, I mean, the added benefit is

40:04

you can, you can drop a couple of pounds if you want.

40:07

So if you want to know what all this is about, Tina at curry.com, email

40:11

her, email her a lot. She can give you lots of information.

40:13

And I got an email from, let me

40:17

see, Sir Timothy talking about his own fasting

40:22

experiences. So I want to acknowledge, I know I

40:24

have not responded to Sir Timothy, but I

40:28

did get your notes. And yes, thank you for the encouragement on

40:31

the fasting. So I'm very intrigued by it.

40:33

And I'm learning a lot about it. And I like it. Autophagy.

40:37

Yes. Tele, tele Papaji, whatever.

40:42

Yeah. You know, I may have to get into

40:45

some autopsy myself to get down to one

40:47

97. Yes. Yeah. I don't know.

40:50

Oh babe. I don't know. Cause you're not really eating a lot.

40:53

So I don't, I don't understand. I think, well, I don't get it.

40:56

My head is definitely full with mucus. I don't know if that counts.

40:59

Maybe that's it. Would you like to do your God shot?

41:01

I would. It's time for Tina's God shot.

41:08

This morning, you said, Oh, this is so

41:13

good. God gives me exactly what I need when

41:15

I need it. And I'm not going to tell you cause I'm keeping it for my God shot.

41:18

Yes. But before, but hearing that thunder in the,

41:23

in the God shot thing, I have to tell, I have to share this.

41:26

So on Easter morning, early, we were hit

41:31

with thunder, major thunderstorms.

41:33

This is the third time in like two

41:35

or three weeks. But it was Easter morning. And so my sweet, lovely dear friend, Brandy,

41:39

who I just absolutely adore her. She had put in, we have a, we

41:44

have a thread with some other women where

41:46

we, we chat.

41:49

Yeah. About Jesus and about scripture. And she said that when she had heard

41:53

the thunder on Easter morning, she thought in

41:57

her head, it was God rolling away the

41:59

stone from Jesus's head. And I'm like, Oh my God.

42:03

And Annette said she thought the same thing.

42:05

Isn't that cool? Awesome. I love that.

42:07

I love that. But anyway, so I thought rain, I thought,

42:12

Oh, all the rain collection systems are going

42:14

to be filled up and we don't have one. We don't have one.

42:17

Yes. So, so as I mentioned earlier, I've lost

42:21

a bunch of weight because I've done a program and I, I reached my goal.

42:26

Yes. Yes. And you do not want me to lose

42:28

any more weight. Can I ask you a question about that?

42:30

Yes. Am I now, after 10 years of being

42:34

together, am I now finally allowed to pick

42:37

you up? Yes, you can pick me up. And can I carry you across the threshold

42:41

of our beautiful home, which you have not allowed me to do?

42:43

But what if you break your back? Oh, please.

42:47

You don't really lift anything heavy. I can lift you easy.

42:51

Oh, okay. Come on.

42:53

Give me a little bit of credit. I'm not going to say what you weigh,

42:56

but yeah, I think I can handle that.

42:59

Yeah. Yes. So anyway, so yes, I can do that.

43:02

Yes. Okay. Yes. Are you ready to race against me as

43:05

well? Yes. Make sure, make sure those skinny little legs

43:09

don't snap. skinny little legs.

43:14

Dude. So anyway, so it's so interesting because as

43:19

I've gotten on the other side of achieving my goals, new, new things have come up,

43:25

new fears, new issues, new, new, just junk.

43:29

You know, I was talking to Annette about it yesterday and I was telling her that

43:32

I was just exhausted by it all. And so I was praying this morning, you

43:37

know, and as I was praying to God

43:39

about my plight, I heard very boldly, the

43:44

Holy Spirit said to me, there's more that

43:46

you have to learn. That's why these things are cropping up, that

43:50

you have to learn to set them aside

43:52

and set the fears aside. Because weight has been an issue for you

43:54

throughout your life since you were a child. And so now I'm, I'm, I am focused

43:58

on, oh my gosh, I'm going to gain

44:00

it all back. Oh my gosh. I, you know, I'm experiencing this with my

44:05

body or that with my body. I mean, just like, like just stuff that's

44:10

just consuming me that I don't want it to consume me.

44:13

But I heard very, very boldly that, that

44:17

these are being presented because I need to

44:19

heal. I need freedom from them.

44:22

I heard that. And so, and that these additional trials are

44:28

necessary. And so I was led to Hebrews.

44:32

I just opened my Bible and was led

44:34

to Hebrews. And it was Hebrews.

44:37

Needle drop. You just opened it up. Well, I had read the first chapter of

44:40

Hebrews yesterday and then I was like, I'm

44:43

going to read. Okay. That's open my ribbon.

44:46

That's divine. Yep. And so I was led to Hebrews 2,

44:49

18, which is since he himself has gone

44:52

through suffering and testing, he meaning Jesus, he

44:55

is able to help us when we are being tested.

44:58

A reminder that Jesus is there to guide.

45:01

And this was my reminder, this part of

45:03

scripture, but this was my reminder that Jesus is there to guide me through this.

45:08

So I was like, Oh my gosh. Yeah.

45:11

Because you know, when you get into this mindset of like, Oh, fear and garbage, like

45:15

you forget, not forget, but your first inclination

45:21

is don't put your eyes on Jesus. And this, God led me to that and

45:25

said, there's more for you to heal from. There's more freedom that's coming your way, but

45:29

make sure you always keep your eyes on

45:31

him. And even though I've done that and relied

45:34

on that for, for a lot of things,

45:36

a lot, a lot of things that I have gotten freedom from, I don't say deliverance.

45:40

I say freedom. Thank you, so like when you get into

45:47

the, into the, the, the, the spiral of

45:50

it, like you just, you know, you default

45:53

to your fleshly behavior. And this was God reminding me that, no,

45:57

there's more for you. There's more coming for you.

45:59

This, there's a purpose behind this. There's a purpose behind the pain and remember

46:03

to always keep your eyes on him. So, so as I was doing my prayer

46:07

walk with Phoebe this morning, which is always

46:10

fantastic up the back road here, because you

46:12

know, at certain moments, the sun just breaks

46:15

through and shines right over that road. It's like, I, to me, as I was

46:19

like, ah, okay, God, thank you.

46:21

I got you. And I was praying about something completely different.

46:24

And what came to mind was, I don't know if it was God, whatever, but maybe

46:28

tell Tina that I put you in her

46:32

life so that you could always be there

46:36

to love her, no matter how we get

46:38

old, what we look like, what happens.

46:40

And I came in writing and I said that to you because that's what I heard.

46:46

It's like, I'm here. It's like, you're done.

46:48

Yeah. You got a man. Yeah. He's getting fat, but you know, you got

46:52

a man. It's okay, baby. I just want you to be healthy.

46:54

That's all. I forgot to mention at the party, everybody

46:59

there of course knew about and had been

47:01

speaking, I'm sure for many months about my

47:04

conversion. Yes. Conversion.

47:07

How's this called? Transformation, baby. They would call it conversion.

47:11

And many people came up and said, so,

47:14

uh, so into, into Jesus now, huh?

47:17

How's that doing for you? Yeah.

47:20

People can be very, um, very blunt and,

47:23

uh, and, but I was prepared for that. And so it was great, you know, and,

47:27

and I just told people, you know, how

47:29

I felt and, and how God and Jesus

47:32

have worked for me and the Holy spirit. But what was interesting is a couple of

47:37

people came up and said, I'm so happy

47:39

that you came out and said that because I've been a believer all these years and

47:43

I'm kind of quiet about it. Cause I just, I don't want anyone to

47:46

know. It's kind of said, oh, okay, I got

47:49

you. Yeah. Don't, yeah. And that's the one, the most unexpected people

47:52

too. Yeah, I bet. Yeah. You know, and that's the thing when you,

47:56

um, what we learned through walking with the

48:00

Jesus discipleship is don't compartmentalize yourself.

48:03

So when you're quiet about it, you know,

48:05

like don't like let your, let your Christ

48:08

light shine. And then I had dinner, had a lunch

48:11

with the woman who's going to speak at the women's ministry lunch Saturday and her, the,

48:17

the, the light from her was bright beaming.

48:21

And you can, when you're around somebody like

48:24

that, you can see it. And I love it.

48:28

And that's that, you know, and so it makes me sad when P and I know

48:31

many people come compartmentalize themselves like that because

48:34

they're afraid. Well, maybe they've become more bold now that,

48:36

that, that I've been saying this. yeah, but it was really nice to have

48:41

those people who were saying, man, thank you so much.

48:44

You know, this looks helpful or whatever.

48:46

I don't know if it's going to make a difference for them, but that was planting

48:49

your seeds. That's what, that's what God wants you to

48:51

do. I do my best. Yes. Now it's time to hear from the Coke

48:57

Soakers. That's right.

49:01

We got to hear from those Coke Soakers

49:04

now. What did you say?

49:08

What did you say? Now it's time to hear from the Coke

49:13

Soakers. Well, it's been a minute to Coke Soakers

49:16

49:19

49:21

50:09

it didn't register with me to file it.

50:11

Do you have it? Do you have it there? Yes. Would you mind sharing?

50:14

This was $500 that he sent for the

50:17

50:48

to follow. And I wish the best for both of

50:50

you. And of course, Phoebe too. Oh, I love that.

He's a turtle. Turtle.

52:39

Yes. He likes this girl. And he, I'm like, dude, I'm like, you

52:44

need to make a move. He's so slow.

52:47

His message, his booster gram from fountain is

52:50

52:52

52:54

less than me? Ladies, let me tell you, I'm perfectly sculpted

Sweet. Oh, we cover it.

53:35

We cover your wine. We love your wine.

53:38

54:05

God bless him. Welcome back. Have to reward the return to the show.

54:08

Can't wait to hear how God has revealed himself with you both during the last few

54:12

weeks. Well, you got an update. Yeah.

54:14

Adam sounds like he might need some schnitzel

Hello monitor atmospheres, triple seven from salty crayon

55:27

atom, and he says in the evening, everybody

55:30

for the past couple of months, I've been talking to my coworker who was a pastor.

55:34

We've been talking about God and Jesus in the mornings around that time.

55:38

He gave me a daily devotional and a bible to read over Easter weekend.

55:41

my girlfriend and I watched The Passion of the Christ, which she never watched.

55:45

It's been really interesting having the both of us try to build a closer relationship to

55:49

each other and with Jesus guiding us through

55:51

the tough times. You know what? Passion of the Christ, I haven't watched it.

55:55

You said it was very, like, heavy.

55:58

It's heavy, yeah. Watch The Chosen. And you know what?

56:01

Adam and I can attest to the fact

56:03

that in our marriage, when we put God

56:07

first in our marriage, our marriage just blossomed,

56:12

blossomed. Big time. Big time. And we already thought it was pretty good.

56:15

Yeah. Yeah. It was like on a scale of one

56:17

to 10. It was an eight and a half. Yeah.

56:20

Yeah. And now? It's a 9.95. We're 10 with a

56:23

bullet. 10 with a bullet. Thank you very much for sharing, Salty.

56:29

And, oh, time for question of the week.

57:27

Question of the week. I don't know if I can even answer

57:37

any questions. My brain is so mushy these days.

57:42

You came up with the question of the week, which means she has her answer ready,

57:45

and I get to put on the firing

57:48

line. Okay. You know, I love that jingle.

57:50

I really do. It's one of my favorites. Okay. Ready?

57:53

Yep. What is your favorite feature of mine?

57:57

Be specific, so you can't just say your face.

58:00

You know I'm a face guy. Wow.

58:07

Well, does it have to be a... You always do this.

58:11

You're qualifying things all the time.

58:13

Well, does it have to be a body feature?

58:16

No. Is that what you're looking for? No, no, no, no, no.

58:19

I really, I've always loved your voice. Oh, really?

58:23

Really now? Yes. Yes.

58:25

Really? Yeah. So, if I talked really high like this,

58:28

you probably would not have ever married me. Deal breaker.

58:31

Oh, okay. No, I've always liked, that's why I was

58:34

so adamant about doing a podcast with you.

58:37

You have an amazing voice.

58:39

You really do. So, there's a lot of features I like

58:43

about you. Really, a lot, a lot, but because it

58:49

doesn't matter if the lights are on or off, your voice is there.

58:52

Oh, that's sweet, baby. And it's a feature I like. Hey guys, I pulled that rabbit out, didn't

58:57

I? Yeah, maybe you're good looking. All right, all right.

58:59

What is your favorite feature of mine?

59:02

Hands down. My hands? No.

59:06

Hands down. Hands down. What I love most is like when we're

59:10

in bed and you make a joke or

59:13

I make a joke and you have that little chuckle laugh, the way that you laugh.

59:18

I love that. Really?

59:21

And I don't know if you're aware of that little laugh.

59:23

No. But it is so precious to me.

59:26

It is so precious. Because it's a laugh only you get.

59:29

I don't think other people get that laugh. No, no, it's just my, yeah.

59:32

And I just, it's so funny you have

59:34

this little, and you know what? When you do it next time, I will

59:37

point it out to you. Please point it out because I don't know what that laugh is.

59:39

Because it just, I just adore it.

59:42

I adore it. And I adore you. Well, I should make it your ringtone.

59:46

Well, you're going a little too far. I thought you just ruined it for me.

59:52

Hey, what do you say we get ready for a wedding?

59:54

Let's get ready for a wedding. Thank you everybody for listening.

59:57

We will be back next week. Mrs. Curry, I love you.
